Shelters and Unrwa-run schools in Gaza are nearing capacity as Israel continues its heavy bombardment of the besieged enclave.
According to Al Jazeera correspondents on the ground, many of the schools and shelters are now nearing capacity, as more people flee from their destroyed homes.
“We’re able to receive up to 150,000 displaced people into our current structure; we’re going to assess how long we can receive them for, give them food and other items we currently have,” Unrwa spokesperson Tamara al Rifai, said.
